The Pyrops hamdjahi is just a lovely little lanternfly. These guys range in colors from deep red to red-ish orange. And look at that nose! Screams cutest at the party!
Encased in a black plastic float frame with elasticity film which allows you to easily see both sides of the mantis. The plastic film allows you to better see the physical characteristics of your critter while keeping them safe. You can open the frame but be careful! You don't want to damage your new insect friend.
The diamond frame is approximately 4.75" x 4.75" (across), 5" with base. Frame sides measure 3.6" x 3.6".
Pyrops is a genus of large, long-snouted and often colorful planthoppers commonly known as "lanternflies" that occur throughout the Indomalayan region. Nearly 70 species are described, but only about a third of these occur in continental Asia. Lanternflies are members of the family Fulgoridae and are also known as planthoppers. They have two sets of wings but use them to jump and glide as opposed to actual flying. They are found within Southeast Asia and Central/South America, but as of 2014 one species has been inadvertently introduced into the United States.
A great addition to any cabinet of curiosities or classroom educational tool!
The critter pictured is an example of what you will be receiving. No worries, they are all about the same and super lovely.
